Another wedding dress dilemna! :-)

Mollee

I'm going to a wedding in 3 weeks of a very close friend. I went shopping with my boyfriend today and tried on loads and loads of dresses!
I came home empty handed but have 2 dresses in my head that I like but I'm not sure if they are ok for a wedding of a close friend, I feel like I should be going to some boutique instead of wearing a dress from the high street!?!

Anyway, these are the dresses.

This is a bit longer on me and not an inappropriate length for a wedding on me as I'm quite short!

This is a bit longer on me than the model, It goes down past my knee!

I would really appreciate some opinions please and maybe some ideas on accessories for the dresses?

For me, the second dress is the more wedding appropriate and nicer, of the two. Lipsy dresses often feel more night-clubby

I prefer the lispy one.

warehouse one is lovely. not a fan of the lipsy one. agree with above poster that its too "clubby"

Warehouse one is much classier

The Warehouse one is the nicest. I really wouldnt worry about a high street dress OP. I wore a dress from Dunnes to a wedding and got several comments on how lovely it was - wouldn't believe me that it was 50 euro from Dunnes!

Just a note of caution on the second dress - I've seen two different girls wear that dress in wedding pictures on Facebook, it is a lovely dress so there's a chance someone else could wear it as well...

The second looks about five times as expensive and much nicer. I hate polyester shine some dresses have. However I'd go with very high shoes if it comes over the knees.

I like the second one,.the first one isn't a good choice for a wedding imo

the second one definitely. Maybe you could take the hem up a bit if you feel it is too long

The Lovely Muffin

The second dress, definitely.

I wouldn't worry that it's from a high street shop, at my cousin's wedding a few years ago the best man's girlfriend wore a gorgeous purple and white dress from Penneys.

You wouldn't have thought it was from Penneys, it was fab! Think she paid €9 for it or something.

I love the warehouse one. I agree aswell with a lot of the other replies, wearing something from the high street isn't going to be an issue. I think most people will be concentrating on the bride, ha ha!

Thanks to everyone for replying!!

Re the first dress being clubby, I honestly thought that when I saw a picture of it beforehand when scouting the net for dresses, i didn't even consider it as an option but when I saw it in the shop though it looked a much nicer colour and fabric so I tried it on and it didn't look too short or clubby at all and it's something I was very conscious of when shopping! My boyfriend proffered this one and thought the other one!

When I tried on the second dress I instantly loved the shape, it was very flattering and I could immediately picture what shoes bag and hair to do which was something I struggled with for the lipsy one! The only thing I was conscious of with the second one is the length as it stopped mid calf, I have pretty chunky legs and I'm not sure if this dress length is very flattering on my legs! I suppose I could get it taken up a little, thanks for that suggestion!!

My sister is going to meet me today to help me decide, shes great with these type of things so I know I'll have a decision by the end of the day!!

Someone else having the same dress as me is a great possibility with the second one for sure, I'll just have to make sure it looks better on me!!! Lol:-)
